Post Covid-19 Lockdown: an Eight-Week Physical Training Program’s Impact on the Body Composition of Master’s Students in Physical Education: a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Study

Abstract

Objective:  To analyze the impact of 8 weeks of physical exercise on physical education students, focusing on body composition.

Introduction: A balanced diet, injury prevention, and regular medical check-ups are crucial for athletes. A well-designed fitness program is essential for optimal performance. Mental health professionals can help manage stress and anxiety. Health education and substance abuse prevention programs are necessary for children. A support network with peer support, safe training, and medical professionals is crucial. Quality health involves physical, physiological, and psychological factors.

Methods: This study collected data from selected individuals who are studying for a Master's in Physical education and used a professional body analysis scale to determine their weight management, fat management, muscle management, basal metabolic rate, total energy expenditure, obesity analysis, body fat percentage, visceral fat content, BMI, body shape analysis, muscle quality, waist-to-hip ratio, trunk fat mass, and overall health score. The process involved measuring weight and height, standing on the scale, and holding handles for reliable data collection. This process was repeated for statistical analysis.

Results: The eight weeks of training program significantly improved health and fitness variables, reducing body fat, visceral fat, trunk fat mass, and BMI and increasing Fat-Free Mass, protein mass, and overall health score.
